I have over 40 years of experience. I protect people with disabilities and civil rights matters involving public school failurs to protect the disabled. The attorney you seek should be aware of civil rights, special education law, civil disobedience and civil liability. o
The case appears serious and in need of immediate legal attention. There are several deadlines that may be in play, starting from the date of the incident. Assault to the disabled could lead to juvenile delinquent prosecution and civil liability of the school and parent of the assailant. I believe that your child's IEP and accommodations of the school should be reviewed to determine if the school is less than proficient with safety and special education services. For more on special education rights, go the Google and type or dictate "Colorado Department of Education". Follow the prompts to special education and fish for rights of disabled students in publi scholls.
Feel free to email me if you want to share more information on assault dates and IEP scheduling in process.
